    Always use protection for your gutters. And don’t forget the 11 percent rebate ya gotta mail it in but it’s worth it.

    So cute, actual home matinence advice, completely oblivious to the slang. Chefs kiss.

    That’s the kind of attitude I want in the administration watching over our infrastructure, hell yeah.

    It was drop dead funny and I say that as someone that used to write for a comedy show.

    Can you imagine Vance or Trump even remotely understanding a gutter or its function?

    Joking aside, the funny thing here is that gutter maintenance is far bigger threat to most MAGA types than anything they get riled up about.

    These guys get riled up about what bathrooms kids use, or how someone they’ll never meet identifies themselves, or their right to concealed carry a bazooka as protection against an unexpected Panzer, but really, they are vastly more likely to experience an issue with clogged gutters, ice dams, or foundation leaks.

    Walz managed to hit on something that’s an actual priority.

  6. Walz reminds me of one of those “YouTube dads” that makes videos showing you how to tie a tie, how to change a flat tire, how to shave etc.

    As somebody who grew up watching some of those videos as a teen, I personally find that to be one of his most endearing qualities

    Because nothing is above him, I don’t think Trump’s ever tilted his head up high enough to look directly at anything other than the eclipsed sun.

    So he might not even know what a gutter looks like..

    Vance probably pays someone else to do any work around his house, and Trump probably delegates the position of hiring plebeians to do work around his property to someone else.

    Seriously, this is the kind of guy you want in charge of infrastructure and budgeting. He will literally analyze the basic needs of every regular household, how to get the best deals, and he cannot be bamboozled.

  9. Weird Midwest stuff makes no sense to me. Basements don’t exist here. WTF is an ice dam?

  10. It comes after the gutter talk in the clip but I agree, I love cheese inside a burger. Blue cheese is actually one of my favorites, not a lot because of its strong taste but just a little can go a long way.

    Tim Walz is the kind of guy who has a circle of people chatting with him. And when he sees someone approaching, he opens up the circle to include them in.

    VPs since Mondale typically have a special focus; I really wonder what Walz’s will be.

    Every time Menards does its 11% rebate, Home Depot matches it and you can do it online. You’re welcome, Minnesota.

    The man just exudes comfortably masculine big dick energy. JD Vance could take some lessons.

  15. A VP who obviously appreciates a well maintained gutter AND reminding citizens to take advantage of rebates! I love this guy!

  16. ChaoticFluffiness on

    He gives of great dad vibes. My heart 💙 I love this guy. So relatable. And I sang ‘Save big money at Menards’ with him.

    I love this Mofo! VOTE Harris/Walz November 5th 2024, so we can get Daily Life Tips from the VP.

    On the one side you have a guy who knows practical things like maps, gutters and cars…on the other side you’ve got a guy who has a problem ordering donuts and has a bone to pick with childless cat ladies.

    Tough choice😄

  19. I was like, “whatever, Tim Walz, good on paper, no big deal.”

    Now after watching this I’m like, “I fucking love Tim Walz!”

    Holy shit, he’s about the first person who seems like an actual real person. It’s like the polar opposite of “I am a real human person” Ted Cruz.

  20. As a man of Walz’ age, I am suddenly ashamed of the state of my gutters. I’ll be getting right on that in the morning.

    Air Force 2 flies over……

    2 hours later, a knock at the door.

    “Dad, the Vice President is here. He said he noticed the gutters when they were flying into town. He’s asking where our ladder is”

  22. Healthy_Jackfruit_88 on

    As a father I look at Tim Walz and wonder if I will ever be “that” level of dad.

    We did just replace our gutters and I do also think about this issue as fall approaches, granted I do not like in MN so I don’t have to worry about the same underlying issues.

  23. This is like, a real person. Cleaning gutters and sending receipts in for an 11% rebate.

    Trying to think of a high profile Republican that does shit like this, and drawing a blank

  24. Judging people by how well they maintain their property is as American as apple pie. We getting back to basics.
